Ryan Garcia<\/a> got his hands on the WBC welterweight world title back just weeks ago but the Californian is already looking to unify, revealing that he is ready to challenge for another belt in the division as soon as July.<\/p>\n

Garcia comfortably outpointed Mario Barrios to claim his first world title and tee up potential rematches with fellow welterweight titleholders Rolando Romero and Devin Haney \u2013 the latter making up one of the most fierce rivalries in the sport due to their controversial first fight.<\/a><\/p>\n

Although, in the time that has passed, Haney and Romero have been locked in discussions for a unification fight themselves, whilst Garcia has been pursuing a scrap with pound-for-pound superstar Shakur Stevenson.<\/p>\n

Yet, those Haney-Romero talks may be on the verge of breaking down<\/a>, after Haney revealed his frustration due to prolonged negotiations and unrealistic demands.<\/p>\n

Now, Garcia has taken to X<\/a> to provide Haney with a more lucrative unification opportunity, offering to fight \u2018The Dream for a second time in July, whilst Haney offered a September fight date in response as the pair went back and forth in a series of posts.<\/p>\n

Ryan Garcia: \u201cDevin is terrified.\u201d<\/p>\n

Devin Haney: \u201cYou scared to death to sign up for drug testing. I told Turki [Al-Alshikh] let\u2019s do it. Get u signed up for drug testing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan Garcia: \u201cDevin I\u2019ll fight you in July! Stop saying drug testing, dumba*s POKE ME YOURSELF.\u201d<\/p>\n

Devin Haney: \u201cHe wanna fight in July cause he still cycling those PEDS. September & start drug testing now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haney may prefer a September date so that he can prepare with a fight beforehand, due to the fact that he is yet to fight since his November WBO title win against Brian Norman Jr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Garcia got his hands on the WBC welterweight world title back just weeks ago but the Californian…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":575771,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-575770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=575770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/575770\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/575771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=575770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=575770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=575770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
